As I was invited to join, here is my attempt at a character.

Name:
Elarinya Icorxei

Gender:
Female

Age:
18

Species:
Beast Man [Butterfly Variant]

Power Level:
2,800

Aura/Ki color:
Red-Black

Appearance:
She stands at 5'8" and wears green arm-length gloves, a strapless, skin-tight, green suit with a gold line separating the red sides of the latex-like suit. The reason for the exposed shoulders, and part of her back, is for her wings so they can move without constraint from clothing.


Personality:
Being raised from birth as a protector and fighter, this upbringing greatly affected her personality. First and foremost she is a defender, willing to rush to another’s aid with great haste. While quick to get into action she is a tactical fighter who is willing to disengage, change tactics on the fly, and not let pride and emotions control her actions. She will do what she must to ensure that she actually has a chance at winning.

Outside of combat she can be quite, well, adorable. As someone who virtually stayed in the same place her entire life, her eyes are constantly filled with wonder at all the different sights she sees. In the city she is the epitome of a country-bumpkin with no idea of how things work. Wide-eyed with wonder she will ask numerous questions with sparkly eyes and is full of curiosity about seemingly everything and can seem like a bit of a child.

Abilities/Techniques:
Ki-Less Flight: As a Beast Man with wings Elarinya is capable of flying without the use of Ki which allows her to focus her Ki more in combat.

Basic-Ki Blasts/Beams: Like most species can fire basic single and multiple ki blasts/beams.
Power-Level Masking: Perhaps a leftover from when her ancestors’ were mere insects, Elarinya is quite adept at making her own power level and even completely hiding it. A very useful ability to travel unnoticed.

Ki-Scales: Elarinya can flake off wing scales to blow into the wind and onto her foes. The ki-infused scales have a few uses: First, they irritate the skin on contact causing discomfort for the enemy to make them lose concentration. Secondly, they can be used to blind the enemy, when touching the eye’s mucus membrane they dissolve on impact and cause a bright flash of ki, temporarily blinding her opponent for about two seconds at best. A final ability is that as long as her Ki-Scales are on her opponent she can track them because of her ki inside them until the scales run out of ki so really only usable for keeping track of combat opponents.

Insect Senses: As an insect Beast Man her hair and antenna are quite sensitive to even the most minute changes in the air leading some to mistakenly think she has a sixth sense. As any disturbance in the air can be sensed she can easily track nearby foes and realize if an attack is aimed at her. This also allows her to sense even invisible foes making it extremely difficult to sneak up on her.

Exoskeleton – A special racial trait that activates for combat. When in danger her body creates a natural exoskeleton from her inner ki that quickly covers her body. The exoskeleton is quite durable and provides a natural defense against physical and ki based attacks. When combat ends the exoskeleton dissolves, becoming one with her body again as it changes back into Ki.

Evil-Eye Blast: Is able to fire twin Ki beams from her eyes. As the blasts are quite thin and concentrated their piercing power is quite high.

Equipment:


Looks like this but covers her entire body, only letting her hair out and a clear section for her eyes to see through, like a visor.

Weaponry:
Her Exoskeleton makes her fingers into essentially claws that can dig and clamp into her opponent.

History:
Elarinya was a very special child when she was born with an unnaturally high power level for an infant and a unique aura which no one in her tribe possessed. Born to an insect Beast-man family it was quite large, sixth born out of twelve siblings she was smack in the middle of her large family. Because of her unique nature she was raised for battle, which was something the tribe sorely needed as they lived in very hostile territory with ferocious beasts all around.

The tribe lived up in the rocky crags to avoid most beasts but of course when they had to forage for food the need to enter hostile territory became unavoidable. A good portion of her clansmen became snacks during these foraging sessions but once she became old enough to fight she took on the job of lookout and protector for her clan to prevent more tragedies. After she became active a lot fewer deaths occurred during these outings.

Fighting monsters gave her quite a bit of experience with combat and she trained with the other clansmen warriors to improve her skills. Unfortunately due to her important duties she had little opportunity to train under martial arts masters, but then she was whisked away from home

Theme: Ambiguous


Team Three Star!
Name: Zypha Celtus

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Personality:

Zypha is a woman of the world and very down-to-earth. Having grown up with a very rough childhood Zypha quickly learned what it meant to survive and how to lookout for oneself. She can very a very sarcastic individual and is not afraid of being rude or callus, so she can rub people the wrong way fairly easily. Despite these character flaws, and at times selfish attitude, she will fiercely defend her crewmates with all her ferocity when they are threatened by others.

Zypha also possesses a very strong will and is actually quite clever. She has a strong resolve to keep bettering herself in combat and learning, so she will often try something new if she thinks it would be beneficial to herself or the crew. Zypha is also willing to go to great lengths and take serious chances if she believes the result to be worth it.

Devil Fruit/ Weapon of expertise:

Zypha’s choice of weapon is a twin Chain-Scythe. The Scythe blades are black with a dark blue triangle pattern across the edged-side of the blades. The blades are long and curved on their ‘business’ ends with short spike-like edges on the opposite side making both sides quite dangerous. The handles are made of essentially dark brown ironwood, polished to perfection with some of the traditional ‘imperfections’ and patterns that wood based pieces have. A dark blue chain connects the twin scythe at the ends of the handles, making the weapon not only a deadly pseudo-projectile but also a potential grappling hook, among other uses.
Name: Francesca Wells

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Appearance:



Personality: Greedy to a fault, this human turned demon always wants more: More food, more money, more power. She hates anyone who gets in her way, aka magical children, since they prevent her from stealing more stuff. With a ravenous appetite for things and power she wants to become an unstoppable juggernaut and even become a ruler one day. She can be extremely stubborn and persistent when she wants to be, not liking to let go of any goal in sight if she can help it.

Powers:

Corruption: Like any demon she has the power to corrupt humans. The corruption increases at the greatest rate when she is striking her opponents, kind of like pounding the poison into them.

Rock Solid: On top of her natural physical physique is her demonic strength. Capable of lifting cars with relative ease her strength is not to be underestimated. It is useful both for fighting and for taking stuff for herself. She is also quite tough and can take a wrecking ball to the face, well if it doesn’t catch her off guard anyway.

Earth Manipulation: Her demonic power is greatly attuned to the Earth, allowing her to manipulate the ground at least partially to her will. For example: she can cause special tremors by stomping her feet which get directed toward her target to knock them off balance. She can mold the earth, including things such as concrete, to her will in limited quantities and at best 2 meters from her person. This includes things like making the earth jut up like a spear, causing the ground to shift and crack, and fashioning pieces of earth into makeshift projectiles and weapons, like hammers and clubs.

History: Francesca Wells was actually quite an athlete when she was human. She grew up in an ok family, had some issues but nothing she couldn’t handle. From a young age she was interested in sports and pursed them with a passion. Soon enough she was a triathlete, competing in big competitions and holding her own. Then came the sponsors, then came the greed.

It started simply at first, taking some money on the side from the sponsorships, investing a little here and there. One thing led to another, fancy clothes, jewelry, a new car, pretty soon whatever caught her fancy she would go out of her way to get, but it was never enough. As her appetite grew and her tastes grew more expensive she started to really mess around. One day though she messed around too much and exposed some of her illicit dealings to the public.

The community was rightfully, quite appalled at her actions and soon measures were taken against her. Medals were taken away, her sponsors all abandoned her, and her reputation was thoroughly dragged through the mud. Enraged at the ‘injustice’ given to her she went on a bit of a rampage and got arrested. Brought down to Earth with nothing to her name anymore, she was visited by a demon who promised her the power to get back everything that was taken from her.

Feeling it was the only way, she quickly accepted the offer and was transported to the Demon World to be thoroughly corrupted and changed. With all her negative feelings at the time it didn’t take long and soon she was rampaging about as a demon, taking what she wanted without remorse.

Her first action as a new demon was to retrieve the medals that were taken from her, and bash in some heads along the way. She's been at this game now for 3 years.
Name: Tina Din

Age: 25

Sex: Female

Race: Hylian

Handiness: Left

Appearance:
A petite 5’3’’ young woman with somewhat short Hylian Ears.


Inheritance: Fire Rod – Capable of channeling her magic powers into fiery blasts which doubles as a lighting tool and a weapon.

Personality: Her magical prowess kind of gets to her head, making this small mage a bit of a narcissist. Stubborn to a fault, she can get exasperating at times. She also possesses a quick and often sharp wit which can put people off quite quickly. Another characteristic is her belief in justice and the destruction of evil, so at least her heart is somewhat in the right place.

Recent history: Descendant of the Oracle Din, Tina is charged with a destiny of keeping evil in check which she takes quite seriously. During her somewhat extensive travels it came to her attention the increased progression of natural disasters, evil rising up, and so on meaning that the land could soon plunge into darkness again. Feeling the call of her Oracle blood Tina has decided to find out the cause of the approaching storm and stop it.

Personal Goal: To become an unstoppable Oracle who can beat back evil without having to rely on others.

Three strengths (Not just combat)
1. Magical Prowess – Tina was born with a great affinity for magic with a large and efficient mana reserve.

2. Fire Affinity – Part of the Din line her powers align greatly with the fire element. This makes fire magic easier than most and she can easily tolerate the heat.

3. Keen Mind – Being an Oracle descendant is not just for show, her mind can work fast and furiously, allowing her to adapt to situations and notice things out of the ordinary.

Three weaknesses (Not just combat)
1. Stubborn – She can be stupidly stubborn, unwilling to change her mind at inappropriate times and may refuse help even when she clearly needs it.

2. Fragile – She is a mage, not a physical fighter. As such while not exactly weak she can easily be overpowered and physical exertion can quickly wear her down. Her height doesn’t really help matters either.

3. Overconfident – Tina is sure of herself, too sure a lot of the time and this overconfidence can get her into trouble, be it battle, a friendly game, and a tendency to believe she alone can do anything.

Greatest Love: Dark Chocolate, totally Divine.

Hates the most: Ironically those who put too much faith in their abilities. [Somehow she does not see this in herself]

Misc: Tina has a tattoo between her should blades that looks like a crystal with a red flame inside of it. [Din's Fire]

My Little Pony 2nd Character

Name: Sunny Orchards

Appearance: Sunny is a bright yellow-skinned pony, just like her name and is bright as the sun. She has an auburn mane that she keeps in a braid on her left side that reaches to her flank. She often wears a frayed, light brown cowboy hat with a broad brim and a dark brown vest with silver tassels on the edges. Sunny is a very athletically built pony with a strong, supple body that makes her look extremely healthy. Slightly smaller than the average pony, she makes up for that though with her strong will and body. Her cutie mark is a lasso in flight.

Race: Earth Pony

Faction: House Earthborn

Skills: As an Appleoosan Ranger Sunny is a master at disruption and capture tactics. Her mastery with the lasso for instance is so magnificent that she has been able to take a pegasus out of the sky in full evasion mode. Able to use smoke bombs to strategically to blind the enemy or hide allied movements there is little she can’t do with these devices to her advantage, she can also modify her smoke bombs to add various effects to them, such as colors, heavier smoke, or even mix in hallucinogens. A decent trap builder as well, quite a few enemy ponies have fallen to her machinations before such as net and rope traps. Quite an athletic and strong earth pony, Sunny is a lot stronger than she looks and is a fantastic hoof fighter and can take on most ponies in a 1 on 1 fight, though of course she is outclassed by heavily armored foes and those who devote themselves to hoof fighting rather than the lasso.

History: Sunny Orchards grew up in House Earthborn on a rancher’s farm with her family and was indoctrinated from a young age about how the land should belong to the Earth Ponies and Pegasi, with no place for the magical powers of the unicorns. She loved working on the ranch and was especially fond of herding cattle and other animals which gave her an excuse to keep improving her lassoing skills. While she continued to improve herself she reached the age of 12 which made her start training for battle for House Earthborn. After the initial years of training Sunny was quickly pressed into the service of the Appleoosan Rangers under commander Braeburn. Sunny liked the feeling of being helpful to her comrades when she took pegasi out of the sky or used smoke bombs to blind the enemy for the earthborn forces to flank them. However as she found herself being used more and more by the military, giving her less time to spend doing what she loved, ranch work, she started to see the grim side of warfare and House Earthborn’s indoctrination.

One of the first times she saw great injustice was when a unicorn stumbled into the camp she was currently employed in. The unicorn was badly injured and needed medical attention so Sunny quickly brought him in; however, before they would even consider patching the unicorn up the captain of the group insisted that the unicorn’s horn be sawed off before they gave the prisoner of war any medical help. Sunny could see the shape the unicorn was in and tried to persuade the captain to reconsider until after he had been stabilized but the captain refused. Sunny could only watch helplessly as the unicorn’s horn was sawn off, the unicorn screamed in pain and his eyes rolled back into his head after the deed was done. The medical personal came in but by that time, blood loss and the trauma of losing his horn had done their work and the unicorn died on the operating cot. Unicorns might be stuck up and arrogant, but refusing to help the dying unicorn just because he had something they did not until it was too late was just not right.

The event changed her outlook on the conflict and she grew suspicious of House Earthborn doctrine. From time to time she would sneak off while on patrol and see what the rest of the troops were up to. It did not take long for her to notice the terrors the army put on populations they passed, often pillaging, wrecking most abodes, hunting down unicorns, and even pressing some ponies into service. The self-righteousness she had felt before, growing up under House Earthborn doctrine about how horn-less ponies were better than their gifted counterparts, had dwindled to almost nonexistence. Feeling distraught and confused, Sunny was unsure of what to do until a certain dream came to her. After considering what she should do, she followed her heart and deserted House Earthborn.

Other: As a testament to her years as a rancher, Sunny learned how to cook over an open fire for those times on the open plains. She is a decent outdoor cook and can brew a mean coffee as well.
My Little Pony Roleplay

Name: Amon Crystis

Appearance: As a changeling Amon Crystis has the typical features of one of his kind. He has a black, carapace-coated body with the typical holes in his legs, wings, and tail that reveal his insect-like heritage. Setting himself apart from most of his race, Amon has a neck-length, fiery red mane, eyes like blood, a ragged flame colored tail, and transparent crimson wings. His horn also has one round hole in it which is often only a trait of higher class changelings and shows that he has the capacity for magic. He is average of height and build, which makes him perfect for most shape shifting tasks. Amon is known to wear special battle armor, dark blue in color which contrasts perfectly with his red mane, eyes, tail, and wings. To add a bit more of changeling’s flair his armor has jagged spikes on the shoulder plates and greaves.

Race: Changeling

Faction: House WhiteGold/Changeling Kingdom

Skills: As a changeling Amon Crystis of course has the abilities of his race, being able to shape shift into any pony made him adept at infiltration and subterfuge. Many a pony has fallen for his disguises and he is a very quick study at understanding the targets of his transformations which give him a lot more credibility than just taking on their form. Amon has trained his eye to pick up the slightest variations in body language and facial twitches to make his transformations as genuine as possible. He has gotten well enough at acting that he has been known to mimic ponies of both genders, wealthy, poor, and even officials.

Amon has devoted himself to learning as many different weapons as possible to increase his ability of effectively fooling and manipulating his enemies when the need to transform arrives. As an infiltrator of Whitegold his weapons of choice are axes, daggers, shields, and the arquebus. Each of these weapons he has managed to be highly skilled in their use but he has yet to truly master any one weapon since he often needs to change his armament. With the weapons he has some amount of skill in he can defeat the average user without using too much effort but against those with higher skills he will find himself hard pressed. A person who truly knows their weapon would only have a slight amount of trouble fighting against Amon with the same weapon, in those cases Amon has to rely on his other skills to compensate for their large difference in skill. On the side he has been trying to learn other weapons as well to increase his versatility.

As a higher breed of changeling Amon has been gifted with the ability to use magic by Queen Chrysalis, which allows Amon to fully take on the qualities of a unicorn instead of just pegasi and earth ponies. His magic is not as powerful of say the typical unicorn but he can control it well enough to effectively aim his arquebus and use it for other minor telekinesis purposes. He has potential to grow stronger in magic but has not had the time to work on it aside from getting the qualifications needed to pass as a unicorn.

History: Born and raised in the Changeling kingdom, Amon was destined to be an important instrument for Queen Chrysalis when his horn was found to have a hole in it, indicating he had the capacity to learn magic. Raised to be a spy and infiltrator it would be Amon’s duty to create openings for changelings to enter into the ranks of one of the houses of Equestria. As a changeling who could effectively mimic a unicorn’s magic there was no doubt he would be sent to either House Moon and Star or House WhiteGold. In the end it was decided that WhiteGold would be his mission since WhiteGold dealed heavily in information, which would give the changelings a better view on the comings and goings within the fractured Equestria.

Raised on the old tales of how Equestria was a land full of love which the changelings strived for Amon was more than eager to fulfill his role for the changeling kingdom but the stories were of the past Amon quickly found out. After entering Whitegold, Amon was able to infiltrate the ranks as a pony of fortune as a way to gain information and access to the most impregnable fortress in all of Equestria. Taking on a variety of jobs, Amon was quickly able to gain wealth and his own information network in the city and eventually rose in rank to that of an Arqueteers to become a member of the Equestrian Trade Union but in order to do that Amon had to make many sacrifices and double-cross those who were innocent and those who were not. Those he took advantage of often lost all they owned in one way or another as he manipulated them with his wits and while he never batted an eyelash at seeing a haughty and arrogant pony meet his social and financial demise there were those who never had ill will toward him or anyone else for the matter; each time he had been forced to betray them for his cause he felt an increasing pang of guilt, which despite all his logical reasoning that it was his duty, still stayed with him even after the deed was done. At the height of his career in WhiteGold, Amon soon found himself at an impasse despite all the sacrifices of others he had to make. The Equestrian Trade Union gave him power and influence to be sure but in order to make a real difference Amon quickly realized he needed to enter into the Society of Canterlot Nobles. While he had the good sense to impersonate a unicorn it was nearly impossible to enter the society without being born into it or marrying into it.

As he had risen through Whitegold’s ranks however he really saw firsthand the sorry state the land of Equestria was in. The wealthy and powerful trampled on the weak in their strive for power and glory, the greatest example of cruelty coming from a certain Diamond Tiara who was absolutely ruthless in her quest for greater riches and wealth. After becoming one of the Arqueteers he found himself hearing rumors from other rich ponies and his underground contacts about the atrocities committed by the wealthy, for example how Rarity had become the most powerful pony in all of WhiteGold by planning the murder of her husband. The sad truth was the all the rumors were so easy to believe, especially since his early days pretending to be a pony of fortune where he sometimes had to travel out into The Undercity. The stark contrast between the riches and glamour of the inner city from the filthy streets, beggars, and thieves that littered the roadways, it was all so sickening. Even the famous District of Delight was so full of corruption and debauchery that Amon often felt sick when he had to deal with the riffraff there. He knew it was important for the changelings to have a pulse on this rich information center but was there any real reason to take over such a loveless city? There was lust and greed aplenty but actual love there was hardly any, in fact the only two high society members that seemed to have any ounce of true love in them were Sweetie Belle, who tried her best to care for her older sister, and General Fancy Pants who was well known for his generosity to the sick and needy of The Undercity.

Amon needed a way into the upper echelon if he was to solidify the changeling’s presence in the city but the problem was Rarity was growing increasingly paranoid as the crystalitis took over her body and warped her mind. There was also the issue of Fleur de Lis, patron of the District of Delights who regularly visited the Society of Canterlot Nobles to interrogate and spy on members. House WhiteGold had masters of manipulation and despite his talents Amon realized that if he rose too high up the ladder his discovery was almost assured. Thankfully Amon at the very least was able to get in the good graces of the ever ambitious Diamond Tiara and has been working through her to get at the pulse of WhiteGold. Despite his best efforts the most he managed was to expand his information network and get a few more changelings into minor positions.

Unable to achieve his true objectives Amon was about to try and embark on a risky gamble to try and get to the Heart of WhiteGold through Sweetie Belle, Rarity’s younger sister. As one of the few ponies that seemed to retain the sense of love he had been told about since he was a pupa, Amon could not help but wonder if the reason he had decided on this route was because Sweetie exemplified that a true pony of Equestria should be, strong, kind, and ready to lend a helping hand. While he was planning his next move he received his first mysterious dream where he found himself standing alongside a variety of ponies and other species at Redheart Refuge. The dream was so real Amon could not help but give it some considerable thought; his mission was in House WhiteGold, to use its vast information and resources to the changelings’ advantage as they tried to slip back into Equestria but was that really the right course? Could there be a better way to go about making a place where the changeling race could thrive? The dreams just kept coming back each night and soon Amon realized that the gamble he was going to attempt would almost certainly be a suicide mission, perhaps there was some merit to his dreams but if he left WhiteGold would he not be betraying Queen Chrysalis? He also realized, much to his surprise, that even if he had managed to get in the good graces of Sweetie Belle that he did not want to betray such a gentle soul as he had done with others before to get to where he was now.

Amon seriously doubted by this time that he could accomplish any more than he already had in the impregnable fortress that had been Manehattan. The information network would suffer without him around to tie connections with Diamond Tiara but it would still be in place nonetheless, and he would no longer have to help that despicable mare. Also Amon realized that in the state Equestria was in, even if the changeling kingdom managed to take over the land the amount of love that the changelings craved to increase their power would be so low it would be like eating bread crumbs for dinner, perhaps there was some merit in feeling the elements and restoring their power despite the obvious risks they presented? Asking the changelings in the area and his Queen’s forgiveness, Amon left WhiteGold to find the source of his dreams in Redheart Refuge. A more direct line of action was necessary; he just hoped he would not be branded a traitor for his actions but even if he was, at least his days of taking advantage of those who wished him no harm were over.

Other: During his stay in House WhiteGold, Amon has gained some appreciation for fine arts such as theater and music. He even picked up playing the clarinet while he was there.
Infiltration had been successful as Zypha carefully made her way along the ceiling, careful not to dislodge any rock that wanted to give in to the sweet call of gravity. It was slow going but it worked and she had effectively made it behind enemy lines. Looking down below she could see and interesting drama start to unfold before her eyes. There was some unintelligent jabbing of fodder type minions but of great interest was the one who was in prison at the moment.

He was a very large and robust man with one of the biggest and firmest jaws Zypha had ever seen, even from her not so great angle on the ceiling. He was also a very loud man, which really fit his image she had to admit, in any even he was in sea stone cuffs, meaning he was also quite dangerous and quite possibly a devil-fruit user. Zypha watched, waiting for the right moment to strike, she had to bottom button done so her jacket didn't hang down from her view on high.

The closest pirates to her position at the moment were the one having a hard time with the prisoner and the two party-goers along with their pet jaguar. In any case now was not the time to engage, or would have been the case if it were not for her comrades starting their assault from the front and the large prisoner doing his darned best to steal the pirates key.

These two distractions would quickly force her hand. She had to quickly decide on her own course of action. There were a few options, drop down and take out the pirate with the prisoner and attempt to quickly free the man to aid her, try to take out the jaguar or hit the two drunkards to keep them from reinforcing the front. It would be dangerous to try for the jaguar as beasts had sharp danger instincts but it was the most dangerous opponent at the moment. The man looked like her could take care of himself plus it was unknown if he would become friend or foe as the Grand Line was filled with crazy individuals, plus it would put her in direct sight of the 'campers'.

As such her best option was to take out the drunks as quickly as possible and then set her sights on the large cat. She moved into position for a silent and stealthy drop assault and waited for the right moment to drop down and put an end to their merriment. She waited till the enemy was distracted by August in the front and then fell, her blades aimed downward to take their lives before they knew what hit them...
This new bit of information was news to Zypha, when Croma said August was 'extremely fast', it was a phrase that told her his speed was above the ordinary which could certainly prove useful, of course she did not know any of the specifics. Of course everyone had left all the thinking up to her so now she had to come up with a plan. She took a look back at her ragtag group, the only one she really knew about decently was Abigail so she'd have to work pretty much blind. Thankfully she was more than ready to take action herself.

Zypha took the spyglass for a moment to study the cave before handing it back to Abigail. "I'm not too worried about the pirates but those beasts could be trouble." Zypha licked her right index finger and held it up into the wind, thankfully it appeared they were downwind instead of upwind meaning there was less of a chance for the big cats to smell them out. "Alright so here is what we'll do. I'm going on ahead and I am going to climb to the top of the cave and try to sneak in via the ceiling." Zypha took a quick check over her equipment to make sure her scythe were ready for work.

"There are more of them than us so it will be to our advantage if we can hole them up inside and not give them the chance to walk around freely outside. There are two actually doing their job so if we can take them out first we should be able to get the jump on them so if he is as speedy as you say, perhaps he will be best for that part. The tricky part will be dealing with their pets when they let them loose as they will be quite strong and fast. Now, as soon as they realize they are under attack they'll try to mobilize which should give me the cover I need to slip inside from the top. If you need help I'll ambush them from on high, otherwise I'll just head inward and take out whatever is left over. If possible, try to get them to bunch together so Abi can take them out." After outlining her plan, Zypha took a good last look at the 'crew'.

"I expect you all to pull your weight out there or this will be a bad experience. Well lets get to it and not die." Zypha then took off as quickly as she could, heading for the cliff side while keeping as hidden as possible, she made her way up, using the back ends of her scythe as claws to scale the mountain-side as she made her way as quietly as possible toward the top of the entrance. It was a bold strategy, hopefully her companions would be able to figure out the rest on their own.
Zypha was considering what Abigail had said. It was very true, heading in straight on would be a bad idea, especially considering what happened the last time. For some odd reason the docks were empty which was very strange, then there was the cave up ahead. As Zypha was considering their options she was interrupted by the blonde.

"Where are you guys headed?"

It was fairly obvious where they were headed, but considering their predicament, Zypha decided to play nice. "We are headed for this 'slaver island'[obviously not the name but it would do] and figure out how to survive long enough for our log post to reset. Until that time we'll need to figure out how to deal with this Treant moron. In any case despite this ship's relatively small size we'll get spotted by whoever is in that cave if we go any further. Let's cast anchor here and we can take the longboat which should have an easier time getting closer."

Thankfully their small vessel did have with it an even smaller boat, with this they should be able to sneak up closer to the cave, then depending on the situation, find a path to the cave on land without being seen. "We need more information, this cave seems like a good place to start. Let's give it a shakedown and plunder anything of use from it. Afterward, hopefully we'll have the information we need to create a real strategy."
Traveling right now and dead tired so don't expect much from me for a few days.
